In the end, Ma Qianyou couldn't resist Liu Rulan's persuasion and came to the production team to help oversee things.
Of course, Ma Qianyou didn't need to put in much effort, since each investor had sent someone in. The two people from Jiaxing Entertainment and Xingchen Entertainment were mainly in charge of the positions, so Ma Qianyou was just a figurehead. He didn't need to spend too much energy on set, which made him quite carefree.
After cooperating with the police investigation, the director and the female lead of the drama "Cang Yue Jie" returned to the set.
Whether it was Tao Zidong's method of fighting poison with poison that really worked, or the master that Song Yuanqi invited to recalculate the opening ceremony that really worked, the crew finally had a peaceful period afterward, and no more major troubles occurred.
However, Xiao He was afraid that things might get complicated if he waited too long, and he was also worried that his temperament would cause another terrible explosion with the film crew. After discussing it briefly with Liu Rulan, Xiao He used his authority as an investor to get the crew to move all of his scenes to the front of the screen.
Even the filming of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" was temporarily postponed. He planned to film the story of "The Calamity of the Moon" all at once and then leave.
In general, the character he plays is just a relatively important second male lead, but his screen time is not particularly long, and many of his scenes are quite repetitive. So it's relatively easy for Xiao He to cram in his scenes to catch up on the schedule.
-
Xiao He plays a character named Lin Qingfeng, who is not only the senior disciple of the sect, but also the object of the female lead's secret crush, and the host of an ancient demon god.
The reason their sect has been called the number one sect in recent years is mainly because the sect has suppressed an ancient demon god who is said to be able to destroy the world for generations.
However, time has passed and this legend has been over for many years. Almost no young people remember this story anymore. Only the sect elders and sect leader still keep their mission in mind. In the future, they will pass on this mission to the next sect elder and sect leader and continue to guard this place to ensure the seal of the demon god.
The main principle of the seal is that the seal needs to be constantly nourished by the male protagonist, whose bloodline is connected to that of the demon god, using the same source of magic.
The male protagonist was originally a half-human descendant of a demon god. When he was discovered by the sect, he was already a stillborn fetus with no signs of life. However, in order to maintain the operation of the seal, the sect's old sect leader had to link the male protagonist's fate with their sect's fate, using a portion of their fate to nourish the stillborn fetus and continue to maintain his life signs, which is how the male protagonist survived.
The price to pay is that the protagonist's physical body cannot leave the sect, and he must constantly use his own power to maintain the seal's operation.
This is also why, in the entire plot of "Cang Yue Jie," the female protagonist keeps looping back to the past after the sect's destruction.
When the female protagonist was young, she accidentally entered a forbidden area and formed a contract with the male protagonist there. Meanwhile, the senior brother who came to find the female protagonist was targeted by a lurking demon god and became its host.
Unfortunately, no one knew about this at the time, including the eldest brother himself.
This foreshadowed the later extermination of the entire family and the cycle of destruction...
Overall, once you know the final plot and the truth, it's not particularly difficult to film the entire story.
The protagonist is given many obstacles in the early stages, which is a normal trope in suspense and cyclical plots. Fortunately, the overall story doesn't drag on. The total number of episodes should be around 20, which is relatively concise and the plot progresses quickly.
Xiao He spent almost the entire month of October on this film set, seamlessly transitioning from the gentle yet determined senior brother in the early stages to the villain whose body was possessed by a demon god in the later stages.
The only thing Xiao He regretted was that he originally thought that by repeatedly killing everyone in the sect, he would count the number of people killed, but in fact, most of this scene was filmed in one take, which meant that the same location, the same clothes, the same group of people, and different types of deaths.
Xiao He usually fights until the very last time, which means the system only calculates Xiao He's score after the director has finalized the plot.
If it weren't for the fact that he was almost at the millionth point, Xiao He would have really wanted to complain about the system and curse it for being such a stingy bastard.
...
On the film set.
Having died again and about to face her final cycle, Yu Yue looked at her senior brother who was about to turn away and finally understood something.
—In this cruel cycle, she might be able to save others, but she can't save him.
His fate was sealed long ago by an accident in his youth—and the culprit was none other than her.
The joy of childhood, the admiration of youth, and the helplessness of the present—she looked at the tall and upright young man with tears in her eyes, and finally couldn't help but call out, "Senior Brother."
Lin Qingfeng, who was holding his sword and preparing to go out on a mission, stopped and turned to look at his junior sister.
Junior Sister used to do the same thing. When they went out on missions, she would stand at the gate and watch them leave with reluctance. And when they returned, Junior Sister would be standing at the sect gate on time, excitedly welcoming them back.
This time, however, Lin Qingfeng's brow twitched slightly as he looked at his junior sister with tears in her eyes. Subconsciously, he felt that the scene before him was somewhat familiar. He stopped and turned around, gazing quietly at the person on the steps, as if something was awakening.
But in the end, he still had that relaxed and gentle smile on his face. He raised his hand and patted his junior sister's head. As he always did, with the composure and determination of an older brother, he comforted her, "Go back, everything will be alright."
"No."
Yu Yue blurted out, but when she met her senior brother's eyes, she didn't know how to continue.
The eldest brother was upright, honest, and kind throughout his life, fighting against demons and upholding justice. If he had known in the end that the demon god was inside him and that he would have killed so many people with his own body in the future, how sad and painful he would have been.
Yu Yue wanted to say something as a last-ditch effort, but when she thought of the demon god inside her senior brother's body, she dared not say anything.
Her previous abrupt reminders had resulted in a painful price to pay, so she dared not gamble at all now.
All she could say was, "Senior brother, can we make a promise?"
Lin Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled broadly: "Okay."
They often made such promises when they were young, but unfortunately, Yu Yue later realized her feelings for him and became extremely reserved, so she never made such a childish promise with her senior brother again.
"Then I..."
The girl on the steps looked at the person in front of her with tears in her eyes. The ribbons of her sect robes fluttered gently in the breeze. Her small face was exquisite and beautiful, but it couldn't compare to the tearful blush at the corner of her eyes.
"Then I hope you will promise me that you will always be my senior brother and that you will always stay true to yourself."
—May the breeze always be gentle and the moon always shine brightly.
He was the senior disciple of the number one sect, the light that Yu Yue could no longer chase, the unconditionally trusted support of everyone, and... the righteous leader who even the demon god could not suppress.
Lin Qingfeng was somewhat surprised, but unusually remained silent.
Yu Yue grew anxious and urged, "Senior brother, please agree quickly!"
—Is he just a senior brother?
Lin Qingfeng looked at the person in front of him, his lips moved slightly, and finally he smiled. At that moment, the young man in front of him was dressed in white like snow and had a noble character like a pine tree.
He reverted to being the upright and kind senior disciple of the sect, as if his momentary hesitation was merely that of a passerby unrelated to romance.
"good."
Lin Qingfeng said.
Her promise will never be broken.
